How You’ll Make an Impact:
Hands-On Lead and mentor a high-performing data engineering team, fostering technical excellence and professional growth while ensuring delivery of scalable, modern data solutions aligned with business priorities.
Partner with the CDO team and data product leaders to define and execute the vision for a AWS-based data platform that enables enterprise-wide self-service, unlocking data for AI, analytics, and innovation.
Drive architectural decisions and establish best practices for data ingestion, transformation, and distribution frameworks that accelerate time-to-insight for data producers and consumers.
Champion adoption of emerging technologies such as Agentic AI and Generative AI, integrating advanced capabilities into data workflows to enhance user experience and position the organization as “AI-Ready.”
Ensure operational excellence and reliability by proactively addressing complex data engineering challenges, implementing robust quality controls, and preventing production incidents.
You May be a Good Fit if:
4 to 5 years’ experience ‘hands-on’ leading highly technical data-centric software engineers, preferably in financial services, in support of Data Lake houses (e.g. AWS, Databricks, Snowflake), data virtualizations solutions (e.g. Starburst), modern data catalogs & data quality capabilities (e.g. Collibra), and Master Data Management (e.g. Informatica)
Proven AWS expertise (S3, EKS, Lambda, Glue, EMR, Redshift, S3, RDS/Aurora, Valkey/Redis, Step Functions, MSK/Kafka, Event Bridge).
AWS Certification strongly preferred
Experience applying AI/ML to boost engineering productivity (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q).
Strong Python for data engineering (Pandas, Spark/PySpark) and API Development (FastAPI or similar).
Design and build high-performance REST/GraphQL APIs with optimized query patterns, pagination, caching, and schema design to ensure low-latency, performant reads at scale.
Build ETL/ELT pipelines for batch and streaming; Kafka/MSK with schemas (Avro/JSON) and delivery semantics.
Optimize performance of object-based and relational datastores
Design applications with microservices and containerization mindset with ‘decoupling’ architectural principles
Caching with Valkey/Redis: TTL strategies, invalidation, key design.
CI/CD and IaC with GitHub, Git/GitHub workflows, ArgoCD.
Security and reliability: IAM, KMS, secrets, VPC networking, observability (OpenTelemetry), SLOs, cost governance.
Ability to solve complex data-driven requirements and triage towards defects and production bugs
Technology solutions and tools including data governance and catalog solutions (e.g. Collibra, Alation, data platform and lake(house) (i.e. ‘medallion’ architecture), and data mesh and virtualization tools (e.g. Starburst, Denodo) .
Experience in leading evaluation of new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency. (“Buy” vs “Build”)
What Would Make You Stand Out:
Hands-on experience building AI agents (e.g., using LangGraph or LlamaIndex), implementing RAG over enterprise data, and enforcing robust guardrails through rigorous testing and evaluation, including Agentic AI connection protocols (e.g., MCP, A2A)
Applying AI/ML to boost engineering productivity (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q) and using agentic AI to automate workflows such as code reviews, test generation, data quality checks, and runbook execution.
Knowledge on SSO implementation and Azure AD (MS Entra) groups
Great communication and collaboration skills
Proven ability to drive innovation and install a culture of ‘continuous improvement’ that measurably improve business outcomes
Ability to communicate effectively & translate technical concepts to with senior management & non-technical stakeholders.
